Hmm, let’s set social reputation to zero here?

But… things shouldn’t have turned out this way.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself possessing someone.
Possessing none other than the spoiled heir of a chaebol family he had created—perfect in appearance but useless otherwise!

“Alright, let’s put this to good use!”
Enemies surround him on all sides, but so what?
Now that it’s come to this, he’ll show them what a true veteran can do.
The legendary management of the charismatic genius guild master begins!

Editor's Note

💡 This is a "Management-First" novel. If you are looking for an MC who swings a sword and kills dragons personally, this isn't it. Shin is the brain, not the brawn. The story heavily leans into the modern "Awakener Sports" trend, where guilds function like NFL or Premier League teams. It is hilariously meta—the MC frequently refers to people as "characters" and even tells people he transmigrated, though they just think he's crazy.

"687 chapters of spreadsheets, scandals, and salary caps. This is Moneyball with mana."

Experience Curve

Ch. 1–40 (The Fallen Heir): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Hook. The MC using his "Trash Reputation" to his advantage is brilliant. The banter between Shin and his grandfather (the Chairman) provides some of the best early moments.

Ch. 41–300 (The League Grind): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Peak. This is where the novel embraces its true identity: League of Legends IRL. The hunters enter professional leagues, and the focus shifts to recruitment, team comps, and "number crunching."

Ch. 301–687 (The Repetitive Loop): ⭐⭐⭐ – The Slowdown. The author falls into a predictable cycle: find an underdog athlete -> reinforce them -> win a match -> face a political plot. The pacing ramps up, and some readers may find the "plagiarism" of MOBA game mechanics (like direct LoL copies) a bit jarring.

WebNovelDB Review

7 /10
A solid "Numbers-Go-Up" strategy novel that trades personal combat for tactical depth.

Management Depth (The Good): The focus on organization, morale, and long-term planning is refreshing. Unlike many "Guild Leader" novels, the MC actually manages. He draws stat sheets, creates strategy guides, and handles the "backroom deals" of the hunter industry.

The "Sports" Twist: Treating dungeon outbreaks like the Olympics or a pro-gaming league adds a unique flavor. It explores the politics, broadcasting rights, and fan reactions that come with "Hunter Sports."

The "Genius" Problem (The Bad): Like many KR novels, side characters can sometimes feel like "idiots" just to make the MC look smarter. The transition into a heavy LoL-inspired setting midway through can be a "love-it-or-hate-it" moment for readers.

Reader Archetype: You enjoy Football Manager or League of Legends. You like competent MCs who out-think their enemies using spreadsheets and "chaebol money" rather than magic spells.

Not For You If: You need your MC to be the hero of the battlefield. Shin never throws a punch. His power is PowerPoint, his weapon is the whiteboard, and his final boss is the quarterly shareholder meeting. If that sounds boring, it will be — for 687 chapters.
